What Is The Cost Of Dentures?
What Is A Denture Reline?
Denture relining is a method that your dentist may use to give your existing dentures a new, more comfortable fit without replacing them. If you’ve been seeing changes in your dental tissue, bone, and mouth over time, it may be a good time to make an appointment with your dentist.
The dentist will clean your dentures and file a small amount of material on the plate while performing a denture reline. After removing what’s causing uncomfortable contact in your mouth, they’ll apply resin to your denture. You need to bite down gently on it to make an impression on your dentures.
Are There Any Potential Risks Associated With Dentures?
Are There Any Alternatives To Dentures?
Dentures have alternatives that include dental implants, overdentures, and tooth-supported fixed bridges.
Dental implants can provide a more natural-looking smile. However, it is not an option for everyone as it requires strong and healthy gums or jawbones. Overdentures are another alternative to dentures that preserve some of your natural teeth to support the jawbone. This approach is ineffective for individuals with inactive periodontal disease (gum disease).
When you come to Narre Warren Dental Care, our dentist will assess the condition of your teeth and recommend the best treatment that will work best for you.
What Is The Treatment Procedure For Dentures?
A comprehensive examination will be the first step in getting dentures. The dentist who is going to do your procedure will assess your teeth and check for any oral health issues that might come up during the process.
Different treatments exist for different people, depending on their individual needs. There are patients who require additional dental treatments prior to receiving dentures. Some people need radiation therapy to make their gums ready for post-denture prosthetics like crowns or bridges.
What Are The Signs That I Need Dentures?
You may need dentures if you have left your oral problems untreated for a long time. You are a good candidate for dentures if you have missing teeth, severe tooth decay, dental injuries, or trauma.
You should visit the dentist at least once every six months. In this way, dentists can monitor the health of your teeth and gums and address problems before major oral problems like cavities, tooth decay, gum disease, and periodontal disease develop.
What Are the Different Types of Dentures Available?
Different types of dentures are available based on your needs and preferences. Here are some examples of types of dentures:
- Complete dentures
- Partial dentures (Lower and upper dentures)
- Retained Dentures
- Night Guards
Our dental team will assess the condition of your oral health to determine what type of denture will work best for you.
How Long Does It Take To Get Dentures?
The estimated time for getting dentures is between six weeks to three months. It’s important to know that the time it takes for your new dentures to arrive will vary depending on several factors. For example, if a tooth extraction is required, this can slow down your process and usually requires about three months.
If you don’t need any additional dental treatments, it may only take 4 weeks to get your new set of dentures.
Can I Eat After Getting Dentures?
What Can I Eat After Getting Dentures?
Once the denture is in place, your gums and bite may take some time to adjust. You may have soreness and pain, so give yourself some time to adjust and try to consume soft foods like the following:
- Ice cream
- Pudding
- Broth or soup
- Mashed potatoes
- Yogurt
- Soft bread
- Cooked rice
- Soft, skin-free fish
- Pasta
- Soup with soft noodles
The dentures will gradually adjust to your mouth after a few days. You won’t have any problems eating solid foods again once you’re used to them.
Is It Possible To Chew Gum With Dentures?
With softer gum options available on the market, gum producers are responding to a growing demand for soft chewing gum. It is important that you chew your gum evenly and slowly if you wear dentures.
In many cases, dentures are held in place by tight clips called attachments or by implants. If your denture is made with this type of fitting, you may not have any trouble chewing gum at all.
Is It Necessary To Wear Dentures 24/7?
Can I Sleep While Wearing My Dentures?
If you wear dentures, it’s critical to keep them clean by taking them out when you sleep. It is not recommended to sleep with dentures at night because your gums need a break after wearing dentures.
Wearing dentures while you sleep could be harmful to your health. Studies have shown that people who wear dentures 24/7 may develop more dental problems.
